Motorola DROID 4 appears...with LTE support

The fourth version of the historic Motorola DROID series has already been pictured just a few months after the launch of the Motorola DROID 3; besides support for LTE, changes include a 4 inch Super AMOLED screen replacing the PenTile display on the current model...

Honestly.. If the specs are close to the razr/nexus then I'd take this phone over any. I miss QWERTY keyboards and I honestly think that soft keyboards are annoying. It'd be nice to have a higher end slide out phone. The only thing that saddens me is no ICS.

ICS is different. Having a phone that has the update isnt the same as having a phone designed for it, thats what you dont get. ICS's strong point is that it is supposed to be optimized with the hardware, like iOS. If you're upgrading, you not only have two sets of Navigation buttons (mildly annoying but not a deal breaker) but you're phone isn't completely optimized as it would be if the phone was built for ics

I remember hearing that ICS will be able to use the regular capacitive buttons. I mean why not? It's not that much different. And it would be goofy to have two sets of buttons. There's not reason for it to be incompatibale. And it should run fine as the phone MADE for is has the same freaking specs. And comparing it to Vista and 7 is a bad comparison. Besides, Gingerbread is more like Windows 7, and WIndows 8 is more like ICS. They both have all new uis and are redesigned but will run fine on old hardware ;)

What a horrible comparison. First of all Vista was one of the worst operating systems ever made. People begged for XP and wouldn't buy any computer running Vista. So your point is invalid as people would perfer the downgrade of XP.

Secondly, there's nothing wrong with Gingerbread and because Motorola uses the same processor as the GN, it will most likely be upgraded to ICS later this coming year anyway.

If any three phones are made for ICS, it's the Droid 3/Bionic/Razr triplets. OMAP4 is the reference processor for ICS, so it should be an easy port. Blur is the only reason I'm concerned about the upgrade. I know it's not as bad as it used to be, but with Google buying Moto, they should defer to the stock interface starting with ICS.

i expect the 'droid' line to be a 2nd tier line of phones that offer the qwerty to the niche market that still wants it. this phone will be the razr, with slightly smaller screen and not rugged and probably released and upgraded a bit behind the razr as well.

i dont understand why anyone would want this phone, unless you really want a qwerty, which i dont entirely understand either.

they'll use the same building process and materials to make this phone as the Razr so they can keep it super thin. you won't miss anything on this phone. the Droids in the original series have always been able to stand up with the big boys. i love my QWERTY so you can bet i'll wait for this one. ;P

vantenkiest what the hell are you talkling about??? Did you really just say "i really dont think they will let it suffer with the older stuff for very long."??? "SUFFER" really??? Do you honestly think that devices that are running GingerBread are actually suffering? Most devices haven't had it for a year and you're already considering it obsolete?

What Droid Loyalty program? I went from the OG to the DX to the DX2 and never heard of it. You have to have a lot of loyalty to suffer to degradation of the Droids into mediocrity. After the DX2's pentile screen and buggy GB release I gave up on Moto Droids.

After one phone you give up? Complain much? One of those people who like to complain without much of a basis. Like there are no pros to having a Motorola built handset...You are full of garbage you know that. Which droids are mediocre aside from the Charge which was the lowest I have ever seen from a Droid branded phone. Surely you talk too much and think a lot less!
